Oct 28, 2025 By Cristina Buenahora Bustamante In Cortex
If you're anything like your peers, you probably blinked in April and found yourself a month away from Black Friday when you opened your eyes. Much like a shopper desperately scrambling to pull together gift lists for their loved ones, many engineering teams find themselves rushing to ensure their systems can handle the biggest shopping day of the year.

How Cortex brings visibility, governance, and self-service to Kubernetes operations

Oct 27, 2025 By Cortex In Cortex
Platform teams handle cluster provisioning manually because it requires oversight. A product team needs a cluster, so they submit a request. Someone reviews the configuration, provisions it through the cloud provider, waits for it to spin up, and sends back access details. Two days later, the cluster is ready. The delay is intentional. Without review, teams provision oversized clusters that blow budgets, misconfigure networking, or deploy in the wrong regions.

New Feature Friday: Ask Your Engineering Metrics Anything | Cortex Engineering Intelligence for MCP

Oct 24, 2025 By Cortex | Internal Developer Portal In Cortex
What if you could analyze your engineering metrics — just by asking a question? Now you can. Introducing Engineering Intelligence for MCP, a new Cortex feature that lets you query your engineering data through AI systems like Claude or Cursor. No dashboards. No BI setup. Just ask: “What’s driving our cycle time?” “Show me Q3 deployment trends.” “Where are our bottlenecks?” Cortex connects your real engineering data to your favorite AI client, so you can get instant, conversational insights on delivery, quality, and team performance — all without leaving your IDE.

Understand how AI is affecting your engineering team with Cortex's AI Impact Dashboard

Oct 15, 2025 By Cortex In Cortex
Rolling out a powerful AI tool like GitHub Copilot is a big win for any engineering leader. But because it’s such a significant investment, leadership will inevitably ask if it was worth the cost. Until now, answering this was nearly impossible. While GitHub provides adoption stats, connecting that data to real-world performance metrics like cycle time or code quality has been a manual, frustrating process. We built the Cortex AI Impact Dashboard to provide a clear answer.

Your metrics, your way: Announcing custom views in Engineering Intelligence

Oct 15, 2025 By Cortex In Cortex
Every engineering organization measures success differently. A dashboard that’s perfect for one team might be meaningless for another. While out-of-the-box views for DORA are a great starting point, leaders need the ability to define and share the specific combination of metrics that matter most to their business. Without this, you're either forcing your teams to conform to generic reports or wasting time rebuilding the same views every week.
